Study Notes

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) affects more than 1 billion individuals worldwide.
8.7 million new cases are reported annually.
1.4 million deaths are attributed to TB each year.
Progress toward reducing TB cases has been significant.
Between 2010 and 2011, new cases fell at a rate of 2.2% globally compared to 1990.
Mortality has decreased by 41% globally since 1990.
Primary tuberculosis is generally asymptomatic in healthy individuals.
Secondary tuberculosis typically results from reactivation of a latent infection and often involves the apex of the upper lobes of one or both lungs.
Diagnostic methods include acid-fast smears, cultures, and PCR amplification of M. tuberculosis DNA.
Culture remains the gold standard for diagnosis as it enables drug susceptibility testing.
Treatment involves a combination of drugs like rifampicin and isoniazid for first-line therapy and amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin for second-line therapy.
Second-line drugs are used for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) strains.

Syphilis

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum.
The disease progresses through stages: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
During the primary stage, a painless chancre develops at the site of infection within 10-90 days post-infection.
Antibodies are produced 1-4 weeks after the appearance of the chancre.
The secondary stage is marked by a rash, fever, and fatigue.
Tertiary syphilis can lead to damage to the heart, brain, and other organs.
Diagnostic tests include VDRL, RPR, FTA-Abs, TPI, and DNA probe tests.

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)

EBV is a DNA virus known to cause infectious mononucleosis.
EBV infection occurs in B lymphocytes and epithelial cells.
The virus can remain latent in the host's cells after initial infection.
During latency, the virus does not express all genes, leading to incomplete viral antigen production.
For viral replication to occur, the viral DNA polymerase must copy the viral genome.
Persistent EBV infection is more common in individuals with weakened immune systems.
EBV infection can progress to chronic active infection in some individuals, leading to life-threatening symptoms associated with infectious mononucleosis.
